It feels so balmy out there this morning, a welcome change from the past two days.  Hopefully it will stay this way.  What’s even better is that we should see temps near 70° by next weekend.  We’ll be going up to […]

After a very windy, cold Friday, today isn’t looking too bad.  Temperatures are still not going to reach where they should be, but at least they are trying.  We should see quite a bit of sun today but there is s […]

Our weather this week has been dry with a little sun, but temperatures have been way below normal and winds have been brisk.  It feels more like early April than May.  Today should be quite nice before M […]

After a lovely weekend, our weather is taking a turn back to early April.  We will see below normal temperatures all week and next weekend is really going to take a dip.  Highs may only make it into the 40s.  I’ […]

What a wet weekend it has been! Many places across the I-5 corridor have picked up 0.25-0.75 inches of rain over the past 48 hours, but the Olympics and Coast Range have seen much more, with 1-2 inches common. […]

Looking at the temperature map for May, it is looking pretty cool in our extended forecast.  I guess I can take my time putting the rest of the screens on my windows.  We received over an inch of rain the past t […]

Today will be a bit cooler than normal, and a few showers will hang around.  We aren’t expecting much rain and most of it missed us yesterday.  There was only 0.06″ in my gauge this morning.  It shouldn’t be to […]

After an absolutely wonderful day Tuesday, today is starting out very wet.  Highs rose into the mid 70s yesterday even though local weather gurus are showing our high to only be around 70°F.  I was sitting ou […]

We couldn’t ask for a nicer start to the day than what we have.  The sun is shining, the birds are singing in full chorus, and it is quite warm.  We do have rain in our forecast for later today, but we’ll just e […]
